There are several aspects here:

* Getting access to the internals of a socket's state is usually a Bad
Thing in terms of scalability.  The more you let 0MQ handle things,
the better it works.
* The 0MQ API is aimed at being BSD socket compatible with the goal of
eventual embedding in the Linux kernel.  This sets a hard limit on how
complex it can become.
* We are starting, in 2.1, to build out of band communication via 0MQ
itself (i.e. using 0MQ sockets to speak to 0MQ sockets).  Initially
just for error reporting, but eventually this could be for other
aspects.
